A growing number of schools across the country are using approaches to cut back on screen time in classrooms.
The superintendent of the Minnetonka, Minn., public schools, David Law, says parents have been expressing concerns about the amount of tech use in their kids’ schools.
So, Schug is using the playbook her district developed to address students’ cellphone access at school to also tackle classroom tech concerns.
But to assuage parents’ concerns about technology use in the classroom, school and district leaders need to tell parents what is going on inside classrooms.
It’s a difficult balancing act, acknowledges Krestin Bahr, the superintendent of the Peninsula school district in the Seattle area.
